Praying for a cruise?

We didn’t have a decent celebration of our 2nd year wedding anniversary this year, mainly because the date and day that it falls was a Monday and the very first day of Daily Vacation Bible School (DVBS) in our church where in hubby taught the pre teens class. Another thing is that we are still financially not capable of going out of town at that time as we have already spent for our Ilocos Norte trip last March.

But of course that doesn’t lessen the happiness we felt as we give thanks to God for His 2 years of faithfulness in us. I know someday God will make us celebrate our anniversary in a Christian cruise which we always dreamed of. I can’t imagine me and hubby together with hundreds of believers on a yacht and visiting places that the Apostles Paul has walked on..That would be awesome!

I never knew that there are Christian cruises like this one, Have to share this dream and wish to two of our couple’s friends so we can pray together. And maybe five years or more from now these Christian cruises will be a reality in our married lives. For now, we will keep on praying for the trip to Hongkong and China next year.

got a text message from hubby around 5 pm..saying he can't pick me up because he was asked to drive to airport to pick up ninong boying's family, coming home for a vacation from a mission trip to Malaysia. I got sad but it's ok because he's our ninong and I'm excited to see them..I didn't reply na but readied my self to go home alone later.

tapos, after 2o minutes or so..he texted again, saying he asked his brother instead so he could still pick me up from the office...siempre I smiled. hehe!

I am so blessed to have such a loving and thoughtful husband. It's very comforting to know that I am (as her wife) his priority.

I was just amazed of the love he could give, not only truly I have never felt so loved and so cared for untill I married him, not even when we are still boyfriend/girlfriend. It's entirely different when we got married talaga. He make sure he's doing what he promised when we exchange vows that day.

And he knows that God is our witness.

Then and now

Look how big we are now after two years..shucks!! Above picture was taken last week, of course I didn't even had the time to fix that hair and I'm dead tired na at that time..hehe! i justify ba why I look so awful.


This picture was taken weeks before our wedding. pre nuptial photos actually, see? even I'm on the middle of the wedding planning di pa rin ako nag pa stress..I wanted to look beautiful siempre on my wedding day

hard days are here

Do you know how high has the prices gone up now? Everything that is necessary like rice, meat, bread and poultry has gone up. Hard days are here, and to think this government is claiming that the economy has never been this strong?? Sigh, I hope they all one day go to market and check what your 300.00 pesos can buy now.

But I know it’s not only us who are complaining, my friend who lives in the US is also feeling the same way, of course she sends money here so I guess that explains how she feels about it. So now a day, it’s very wise to compare prices before buying anything. I do that on grocery store. It’s good to know there are sites where you can compare prices. Like localprice.com. I have yet to send this to my friend who as I mentioned is now residing in Georgia, She might save some dollars here, She can actually compare the fees for Atlanta dentists, the rent for Atlanta limos and current prices for Atlanta home security systems here. And maybe even more, be it services or prices or anything she needs in her apartment.

Me, on the other hand has to do it whenever I go to grocery stores, yes it consume time but at least it saves me a lot of money and it’s worth it.

2 years of God's faithfulness

Today, we celebrate two years
Two years of God’s faithfulness
Two years of friendship
Two years of blissful happiness
Two years of waiting for God’s another gift

As we celebrate
We thank our dear God
For giving us each other
For providing for us
For letting us enjoy
The beauty of life together

We thank Him too
For the pains
And tears
And all those struggle
We have to go through

For we know
They only make us stronger
And more closer
With each other

Happy 2nd year anniversary mahal!!

A shopping cart?

I’m curious, how many of you my readers are into online business? Because I know everyone is doing business on the net now. Selling, trading, loan, or even writing papers, printing, banking and what else? In no time we will all be dealing our transactions online. Maybe someday we’ll do our grocery online, or maybe other countries have been doing that. I was just amazed how the internet is changing our lives, before, I only knew shopping cart as the one we used in grocery store, we have it now in the internet.

And if you’re not yet decided what ecommerce software to use when you put up an online store visit Ashop Commerce and look at what they can offer.click here for a free trial. We can never tell, maybe I'll be one of your first customers soon or maybe it's the other way around, who knows you'll be my first customer if ever right? I actually want an online toystore, me and my friends put up one last last year but we failed maybe because we need more experience and yes maybe we need to buy an ecommerce software.

I hope it doesn't hurt like this

Good news – my friend who recently got married last March 1 is now pregnant!! Her husband told us last night. We couldn’t be happier for them. I guess everyone they knew would be happy and excited for them. It’s quite sad because Jerl is now back in Georgia and her hubby is still here, so we are praying for his papers and visa so he could be with his wife anytime soon. I can imagine how hard it is to conceive and “lihi” without your partner beside you.

The bad news – As I have said me and hubby couldn’t be happier for them, they are special to us, so special that we are the first to know among their friends I think even with their own set of parents. So we’re genuinely happy for them. But then hearing the good news brought us some pain also. I immediately asked the question “why not me?” And I guess they heard me even without asking it aloud..because they said “don’t worry, you’ll be the next”.

I hope it doesn’t hurt like this..and it hurts even more when you realize that it also is hurting your hubby. Last night when we are left alone in the room, hubby said “it’s all my fault” ..”I’m not a faithful servant kasi”..”I’m not praying kasi” . I wish I could say the right words but I am speechless too, though I know in my heart that he is not to blame, no one is to blame. I JUST held his hands and whispered..”it’s alright” but inside of me I knew..IT IS NOT.

Am I responsible?

I have heard that having more than two credit cards can give you a headache. I should have listened. I should have declined those credit card offers. Now I admit I have headaches on how to get rid of those cards. I actually called up one of the credit card company and told them I want to cancel the card they issued but they want me to pay in full all the outstanding balance. That is why I am working hard, I am trying to save on anything and anyway I can so I can pay up. Although being debt free is still a dream come true to me I am hopeful and positive that I can achieve it.

I am looking into the option of acquiring a loan with much much lower interest than those of the credit cards. I realized now how big the 3.5 percent is, good thing I only have small credit limits. I have a good friend who has higher credit limit and is paying a lot of interest in top of it.

I wish our company would offer payday loans that have no interest at all or cash advance so I can make a full payment to my credit card. Or would anyone of you know such company? As long as the interest is lower than those of the credit cards I think it is okay. If only my problem is having enough funds from payday to payday, then that wouldn’t be so much of a headache. I know there are companies who offer online payday loans. Isn’t that great? When you run out of money and payday is still weeks away, you can just log on to their site and apply for a cash advance. I hope they are available here, but still acquiring such would still be the cause of your headache specially when you are not responsible.So I guess it all ends up on being responsible whether it is a loan or a credit card.

Kid’s Question #1 If you were the ruler of the world and you could have anything you wanted as well as have people do anything you wanted, do you think you would get greedy and mean or would you be a good and fair ruler?

> Ruler of the world? Okay, It’s kinda hard to comprehend but I will try to answer it. If I am the ruler of the world and I could have anything I wanted..I guess all will be happy, I hope to be a good and fair ruler. I will be needing a lot of guidance and prayers. It’s hard when you’re on the top and decisions lies on your hands..but still I’m quite confident I won’t be mean and greedy with the help of God of course.
